Thanks for giving us the opportunity to attend the course. My experience with the instructor and the administration was good. Shaik Ahmed Kobeisy, may Allah reward him was excellent. I liked the way he made the class interactive. The PowerPoint presentation notes in the class were useful. Because of the grace of Allah and your efforts, I have included Aqida topic in Kutba's that I present around Boston area. Volunteers at Islamic Learning Foundation also have done an equally outstanding job. They provided the class notes in satisfactory manner by e-mail and posted on the web. I am looking forward to signing up for more courses. Hussein Dayib - Massachusetts

Asalaam alaykum. I want to thank Shaykh Ahmed Nezar Kobeisy for sharing his intensive knowledge of Islam with his face-to-face class and the online students. I also want to thank the Islamic Learning Foundation for making these classes available online. It is the only way I could attend these classes since I live in downtown Manhattan and do not drive. Online classes are wonderful since it may be the only way for students to attend classes because of constraints like traveling time. I have been looking at the courses provided by the ILF for several years but unfortunately I was not able to attend until this semester. I am looking forward to the classes scheduled for January, 2009. Thank you again for everything. Yvonne Jamil

I just finished the subject course online from Shaikh Kobeisy. I enjoyed the course hugely and learned a lot. May Allah (SWT) bless the Shaikh and all of you who made it happen for us. I would like to send some token contribution as a part of appreciation from my side. Please let me know the street address. Pl let me know other online courses (I am too far away to attend the course) and my warmest regards and salam to Shaikh Kobeisy. JAzakum Allahu Khairn. Saeed Shaikh

I am your student, currently enrolled online for Mustalah Al-Hadith. I am enjoying it and learning a lot. May Allah (SWT) reward you for sharing your knowledge. Sheikh, I have downloaded your Hajj presentation and would like to post on our Masjid's website (Islamic Center of New London, Connecticut) with your permission. The presentation is excellent and could be of great value to people who are going for Hajj. Please let me know if it’s OK with you. Once again, I sincerely pray to Allah (SWT) that He bestows upon you many more opportunities to serve the Ummah, Ameen. Jazakum Allahu Khairan. Saeed Shaikh

Asalaam Alaykum, I am much interested in this joining your institute. And alhamdulillah it is also available to people who are unable to attend it, as I live in the UAE. Jazakum Allahu Khairan, Rabia Tariq

Jazakallah. May Allah subhanotallah reward you for this effort and for making this available to us without having to travel to the class. - Farida Shaikh

Assalamualaikum, I m taking this course Terminology of Hadith. MashaAllah the course is helpful. wassalam, Syeda Saba

I benefited greatly from all the courses I attended at ILF this Fall, and was very impressed by both the breadth and depth of coverage. Additionally, the fact that the courses are offered online, enable people like myself who reside in locations other than the site of the classes, to benefit from the abundant knowledge that Shaykh Ahmed Kobeisy has been imparting. May Allah bless the Islamic Learning Foundation and enable many more to benefit from the courses offered. Wassalamu alaikum. Adnan Khan.

Aqidah 101 class was extremely interesting; Sheikh used common, general examples, and took time to explain with several examples. Materials was well written and to the point. Sheikh encourages students to participate in the class. (R.R.)

Excellent class will come back for more sessions. (M.U.)

I loved the class. I just wish we had more time. May Allah reward you for all your efforts. (No name)

Very informative and practical (no name)

Al hamdulillah, the course was and is very rewarding. I am so grateful to Allah for allowing me to be blessed into receiving so much knowledge and understanding Islam in a simple and realistic standpoint. Sheikh Kobeisy is every educated who truly understands Islam as it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (saws) and its applications in today’s society.
